Instructional Materials – Old

Introduction

Textbook purchases and adoptions are channeled through the Textbook Department of the Media Services Department. Each school in the district assigns a school level individual to inventory textbooks and to determine purchases. In most cases that individual is the Assistant Principal. Requests for textbooks are done at the school using the Florida School Book Depository website and then printed and sent in paper form to Shelley Hall in the Media Services Department. Some books may also be ordered by specialty publishers or used textbook vendors. Shelley Hall enters the requisitions into the SunGuard Purchasing System and purchase orders are sent to the vendors from the District Office. Request for payments are finalized for processing thru the Media Services Department. Instructional Material Budgets are monitored through our Department as well.

Shelley Hall looks forward to assisting you in the textbook process.(Shelley Hall also assists Dual Enrollment students in getting the books they need.)
